Delicious Whipped Cream Layer Cake

This cake consists of three layers of moist vanilla cake, layered with sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It takes about 1 hour to prepare and serves 8-10 people.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Fresh strawberries or other fruits for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top and add sliced strawberries if desired. Repeat with the second layer and top with the third layer.
Frost the Cake: Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with additional strawberries or fruits if desired.
Serve: Slice and serve the cake chilled. Enjoy!
